Clockwork

Lifepoems

Glide, like a pendulum,
at the curtain call,
we're all onstage,
caught in the craze,
dragging behind an arrowless
quiver
like a butterfly,
rushing from the doldrums,
blindsided mid-flight
by the hastiness of night,
as haggard as a
whisper
those foreign words
that make you feel at home,
harness your pain,
someday your brain
may comprehend what the stars
say
goodbye to planted dreams,
to unspeaking rhetoricians
that pacify
with cajolery pie,
and poisoned words that
linger
in the promise of tomorrow
and shatter frozen sunsets
when all else sinks
in an eternity of ink
and the steady hand begins to
quiver
when the bedrock shakes,
shiver when the levy breaks,
but never surrender to quaint clichs,
shun the shackles that
tackle your mind and
grab hold of something
that can't be defined
in a single
word.
